| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, printed in matching purple-violet, centres on a circular dotted vignette containing the heraldic coat of arms of Remscheid — a quartered shield with a lion passant and castle tower, surmounted by an eagle and flanked by two standing allegorical figures. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large open figures to the left and right of the central vignette, with the legends 'Stadt' and 'Remscheid' positioned at lower left and lower right respectively. The entire field is overlaid with a fine guilloche underprint, bordered by the same scalloped rosette frame as the obverse, and the printer's imprint 'SCHÖTT ACT. GES. RHEYDT' appears in small type at the bottom centre below the border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Remscheid issued this note in 1918 as part of the broader German municipal Notgeld phenomenon — cities and towns stepping in to fill a practical void as Reichsbank notes disappeared into hoarding and the metal coinage supply collapsed under wartime requisitioning. At 20 Mark, this sits at the higher end of what municipal authorities were typically authorized to float without direct central sanction, which made oversight of these issues uneven at best.
Schött Actien-Gesellschaft in Rheydt was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which makes the inclusion of a watermark here worth noting — an attempt at credibility that not all Notgeld issuers bothered with.
